As passengers now look towards recovery, The Straits Times spoke to experts to find out the psychological impact that the near-death experience could have on passengers, cabin crew and even the loved ones of those affected.Mental health professional Amanda Oh, founder of Budding Space, said a traumatic experience can make it difficult for a person to understand or process a situation, much like “an indigestion in the mind”.
However, they may be diagnosed with PTSD instead if symptoms persist past the one-month mark. PTSD has been known to affect a person’s social functioning and physical well-being, said Dr Chow. “We have to recognise that when something traumatic happens, what gets compromised is a sense of perceived safety,” she pointed out.
According to the American Psychological Association, EMDR sessions – which stimulate bilateral brain activity, commonly through side-to-side movement of the eyes – directly target the memory of the traumatic incident as opposed to the resulting emotions and thoughts of the incident.
